Now if one were to carry the thought process out to it's logical conclusion
we end up with the Orwelian Telescreens where the TV acts as your source ogf
information but the thing also gets to watch your every moment and record
your every word.
Paranoid? "But", they would say, "it gives us a leg up on terrorism. It
would allow to scrutinise potential threats before they can become reality",
they would say. "It would make the nation a safer place... blah blah".
Impossible ? So was WTC's getting dropped nto it's respective footprints and
so also was Patriot 1 and 2 not that long ago. Would one have even mentioned
it as a possibility four years ago they would have been laughed at and
treated like a conspiracy but who's immagination is over ripe, but it did
happpen, eh? It continues to happen, eh? It forcasts to expand and grow into
a even greater monster, eh?
The only safe government power is controlled government power, and in most
cases government is the one doing the controlling. Not aying that or anyone
can alctually *do* anything to twart that, merely that I am very leery of it
considering the track record of power abuse. Today it is black boxes in your
glove box, cameras on the street corners, and on the highways, all in the
name of "protecting the public good", and so where does that *protection*
stop ?
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety.
